Oso planning to go pro
Good lord. A solution, looking for a problem. Seriously, how long has she been saving this list for the chance to use it?
This reminds me .. MKE county closed golf and frisbee golf courses. That seems over the top. You can easily maintain 6 feet, not to mention 60.
It's definitely a problem, and while there are some over-the-top points there, several are quite reasonable.
MMAC sent a memo out today on this in conjunction with MCW. Biggest takeaway was that they don't expect it to peak in WI until late May.
Would that be good news? I thought the idea of flattening the curve was so we didn’t get the big spike in the next week or two. If the peak is May, I’m guessing we did a good job flattening the curve.
Serious question. If someone is dying in a hospital bed, and not tested, what is the medicinal regimen they are given? Assume its COVID and treat as such? Who should be tested with the first 1 million tests available?
Which would you like to see adopted and which do you feel are over the top?
They were barely symptomatic, but got tests. NBA players getting tests.Others dying in hospital beds, waiting to be tested. Meanwhile, everyone working at home, but low-income wage earners having to show up in person and deal with countless interactions with people.Anyone else seeing the income disparity and privilege being put on display here.
I'm suggesting that 75k tests is inadequate. I'm also suggesting those 75k tests should already be processed, and 150k more should already be shipped to providers.And maybe you should up your knowledge from CNN...lol...that was a good line WD.https://www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-policy/covid-19-testing-delays-shine-light-lab-developed-test-regulation-debateSome of you have very low expectations for the greatest country in the world...
On January 14th, WHO said there was no evidence of human to human transmission. It was not until January 20th when they changed this.https://twitter.com/who/status/1217043229427761152?lang=enI have realistic expectations based on time and the legal requirements in this country tied to medical testing. We can all be frustrated by testing not coming online fast enough, but my belief is if flawed tests were deployed or rushed opinions would be unchanged.
She has had this list for over ten years, sourced by her own experience.As you may recall to the 2008-9 crisis, while she was still a Harvard law professor, and with Sen Harry Reid's (D-Nev) support, Liz Warren was named to investigate the TARP bailout of the banks. Many of the points here parallel the abuses she found with TARP funds use/abuses in the trillion$ bailout.Few points were implemented, however, as the Banks had an aggressive ally in Obama's newly minted treasury secy Tim Geitner, formerly of the NY Fed Reserve, who cut off further investigations and enforcement of almost all of these points. Today, the question will be, once again, whether there is either the legislative will to impose these conditions on govt bailout monies, or the subsequent dedication by the executive branch, including treasury dept, to implement or enforce any of them. One can see the historical logic here, but like many initiatives, such is very subject to political/lobbying will

HydroxychloroquineThat be the solution
It has been mentioned as a possible treatment for at least a month. How much do we have, is it safe, and when can we get it to people who need it?Alongside others, I doubt it is a magic bullet, but we can be hopeful.
1, 6 and 7.And while 4 goes too far, I would prohibit executive bonuses funded by bailout money.
Safety is always a factor, but like any drug, is it safe specifically for that patient? The drug itself has been around a long time, since WWII I believe. Used to treat a variety of things, but initially came out to treat malaria. Since then they’ve been trying it on certain forms of lupus, arthritis and a few other maladies I believe the South Koreans were using it with some effectiveness on the virus du jour
